The noble and his party were just outside the entrance to the dungeon when a powerful rumble could be felt shaking the mountainside that the dungeon resided in.” What was that,” the noble snapped, looking around snapping his hand to his sword hilt. Screeching, the birds in flew out of the nearby trees causing the guards to be even more jumpy. “It came from the dungeon Lord As’ter.” With a click, the noble removed his helm short blond hair fell free framing a chiseled jaw and piercing blue eyes. All of this was ruined the cruel sneer on his face. “it doesn’t matter to us; I tire from the dungeon. Take me to Lysandra’s I wish to relax,” the armsman nodded as He shouted out to the group as they made their way forward.
Deep in the dungeon, a room was silent for the first time in decades. Many items and bones lay scattered around with bits of jell still clinging to them. Dust and bits of rock drifted to the ground as a blue glow surrounded a small bump of bone sticking out of the ground. Slowly I came awake, a dark blue glow taking up my vision.

His head was killing Him, no matter where he looked the blue window remained in his view. Memory was more than a bit hazy, he started to panic as Places, family, even his name remained beyond him. Trying to move yielded nothing not even a finger twitch. Without a hint the blue windows disappeared leaving him in darkness. All that he could grab memory wise he latched onto desperately. The smug sneer of that man, glaring at him as he fell to his death, like his very existence was a stain on life. Rage, pure untainted without any trappings rage filled him as more memory fragments flowed back. His sudden appearance, the terror of the chase, and the callous murderer. I will get my revenge, even death and the tendrils of this hell won’t stop me.
After he calmed down some and centered himself, he tried to figure this out. Pushing back the horror of the void that Surrounded him. I fell and landed onto something rubbery, and then the burning started, winching at the memory. There was a flash of light and then so much pain that he passed out and then this. I could be in a coma, but real or a delusion I will fight back. This is like a video game with the window and what did that say about Xp and an Ancient Colossal Slime?

Yes, this is just like in an rpg, though there’s a lot of stuff I don’t recognize. Also why are my stats so shit.
Skeletal fragment: A new undead race to Vel’kurs, barely more than a fragment of bone the weakest of undead, shouldn’t pose a threat to even a new born human.
Wow really, this system has an attitude.
Shattered: your physical body has sustained damage beyond what any living being could survive. Reduction to strength, health regen, constitution and dexterity by amount of mass left. (MASS .0005)
Soul Damage: A portion of the user’s soul was burned in a desperate attempted to survive. Racial ability Undead Stamina has been block till damage has healed.
Traumatized: User has sustained intense damage to their psych causing mental Stats reduction until trauma has been overcome.
No wonder I’m such crap right now, I can’t move, a feather could kill me and I have no senses to use. Wait didn’t I have and ability?
[Absorb Lvl 1] Breakdown objects or materials for a change to absorb traits of the target on touch. Does not work on living creatures. Current mana cost 5 (current 2 % of success at Lvl 1 chance of trait gain) *Racial Bonus- Bone currently heals damage to body
This is it, he though. Maybe I can fix what’s wrong with me, only problem is I can see for shit. He mused grimacing mentally as he mulled over his options. Remembering back to the light he saw before he perished, he focused his mind inward, trying to locate the source. After a few hours or days, he couldn’t really judge time with no outside input he found it. At the center of his being a cyan spark-like flame dance. Like a living thing it dances and moved, its beauty moving him to fascination. Now that he had noticed this spark he could see thin traces of it leave the spark and span outwards along an oddly shaped chip of something.
Ability Gained [Mana sight] Lvl 1
Popping up was another blue box Mana sight hmm, his vison expanded outward. Bathing everything in the same color as the spark at his center. Like there was a cyan colored flashlight strapped to his head. Looking back at the chip a sinking sensation filled his being. I gg-guess I died. He wept at what he had lost, his body, his memory his home. What did he have left to continue for, no one and nothing remained.
I still exist, my memory, body, and even name may be gone but I’m still here. Gripping at this last fact as an anchor he looking around with mana sight noticing a shard of something next to his fragment. Well, he said sighing. I guess I’ll go over this later let’s try this ability. [Absorb], Nothing happened, he tried more forcefully. [Absorb]! Still nothing happened, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I didn’t have this problem with mana sight. Thinking back, he went through the steps of using mana sight, oh duh I forgot to push a bit of the spark from my center. That must be my mana pool, drawing on his mana [Absorb].
[Absorb] “Iron Grain” failed material lost
The shard he was watching failed to do anything, but to his amazement the fragment that was his body shifted slightly and with a wave of tiredness he passed out.
